The Athletic Nerd Movie Blog: The Rundown Movie Headlines

Well, I’m all moved in and finally settling into a new routine.  It’s strange being away from the web for nearly a week.  There’s a ton I missed and since this week was fairly slow for major news and such, I thought I’d toss out a little bit of everything from the last few weeks in this edition.

Next week is going to be absolutely massive with tons of Superbowl trailers and announcements on the way.  I can’t wait!

Zak Snyder found his Superman!

I’m loving where this franchise is headed.  Zak Snyder’s amazing visual style mixed with Christopher Nolan’s golden touch has entertaining written all over it.

Word came this week that Lois Lane may or may not be the central love interest in the story.  I’m not sure if that will fly (ahem) or not but I’m looking forward to some concrete story details.

Regardless, the announcement of Henry Cavill as the Man of Steel seems awesome to me!

Bill Murray vs Ghostbusters 3

I’m not a huge fan of the Ghostbusters movies but I still sympathize with the hardcore fans out there.  How frustrating it must be to have a script in place with everyone returning except Venkman.

Apparently, Mr. Murray has the script with everyone anxiously awaiting his approval.

But the weeks have turned into months and he still hasn’t read a word?

Someone needs to interview that guy and get to the bottom of this.  If he’s not into it, wouldn’t it be easier to just say no?  Everyone is waiting!

Captain America Poster

I wasn’t completely sold on Chris Evans as Captain America until I saw this image.  Avenge!

Insidious Trailer

Neat.

Triple H…  The Chaperone

Is there anything about this poster that makes you want to see it?  This…  Looks…  Awful!

The Chaperone Poster Looks Terrible

The Sunset Limited Trailer

I love movies that take place in one location.  I love Tommy Lee Jones and I love Samuel L. Jackson.  I love movies based on plays.  I love this trailer too.

Up In Real Life

Don’t ask.  Just watch.

Endhiran

Robots.  Lots of Robots

Holy crap.  What is this!?  It’s either the dumbest action movie ever made or the awesomest!  I’m actually looking forward to finding out which one it is.

All Time Worst Movie Moments

Movie henchmen are usually meant to crumble under the weight of the heroes they oppose.

Some of these henchmen can steal the show with humor or superior fighting skills.  (Sometimes both)

Take Tatsu from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles for example.

Not every henchman delivers though.  Some are annoying while others have zero excuse to exist at all.

Today, I’d like to honor the all time worst movie henchman:

Jarko Grimwood

All Time Worst Movie Moments

Don’t recognize the name?  Jarko is the idiot played by Triple H in Blade: Trinity.  What a useless and terribly written character.

Eliminate him from the movie…  Erase all memory of him…

Are you missing anything besides a cameo from a popular wrestler?

I happen to love the Blade franchise but the third movie felt so rushed and forced.  It was disappointing.  The first two were pretty solid action flicks and I had high hopes for the third.

Thanks to henchmen like Triple H, it fell flat.

The vampire dog was cool I suppose.

PS: I didn’t know Triple H’s real name was Paul.  I thought it was Hunter.  Shows what I know.
